About Billy Reynolds


From biography.com

HER BROTHER WAS IN SHOW BUSINESS TOO

Debbie Reynolds’ brother William was a makeup artist who worked on shows like The Waltons and Eight Is Enough, and before that, for Elvis Presley. Apparently Elvis used to play all kinds of tricks on him, putting popcorn in his pants or worse, snakes.
During an interview with Alec Baldwin for his NPR show Here’s The Thing, Debbie learned that her brother had been Baldwin’s makeup artist for a year and a half on Knot’s Landing. Baldwin says it was “Billy” who helped him survive the experience: he always reminded Baldwin to bring a book with him, since he knew it would be hours before the show’s notorious divas, Joan Collins among them, would leave the makeup chair free.
